A jhut (garment wastage) trader was stabbed to death by unidentified miscreants in the capital's Mughda yesterday. Md Ali Hawladar, 40, son of Lokman Hossain, of Pagla in Narayanganj, was killed in front of Bashar Tower in Mughda around 3:30pm, said Mughda police. Ali had a feud with some influential locals over his ownership of a land in the area, said his brother Shajalal. Ali came to Dhaka yesterday with the land's paperwork after the locals called him for a solution, but seven to eight miscreants killed him, he added.
